02.22. pm i arrived at Phuket Airport, heavy rain just stop. Yes this trip was not in the plan. I was in holiday that time but dunno where i must to go until suddenly i think bout Thailand. so the tickets i bought was in the spot. I depart from Jakarta to Phuket Thailand n back from Singapore. When I arrived at Phuket It was drizzel around. The decided to go to Patong beach by bus, but lucky me that i met 4 indonesian guys on they to boarding pass after landing. So we share van together n it was 650 baht. They were nice n friendly enough. Even in Patong we were searching the guest house together. We got a guest house very close to to the main road. The place was gud enough. The room is quiet big, clean, with AC n hot/warm shower. At nite I was walking around to see the nite life at Bang la road then to JUncelon mall till my feet was very very tired. hehehe...

Crazy speedboat

The next day, I joined fullday trip to explore Phiphi Island around. Early morning i wake up only don't want to be late to go to this fuckn island. wow...i can't stop this spirit. the driver pick up in front of the hostel. i just eat chicken burger from 7 eleven when the van arrive. on the way there the driver pick each person at their hotel. one by one... until the van full according by the seat. well, that morning he drop us in the pier called ramada.some staff already there n allow us to enter the lobby. it's not like a hotel lobby. it's simple place with the pier view. then i saw there is a medium table with the muffins. mmh...i want, but i m full. so i take a cup of coffee n sit on my chair. they ask me to pay around 1100 baht for the tour. yup, it's quiet expensive, cuz i don't use a big boat. it's a small boat. "speed boat". while the passengers breakfast or drink some coffee one of the staff enter th eroom. she is a woman. she fat but sweet enough...lol.. she has a loud voice n explain standard rules for us. including the way how to use snorkeling stuffs. bravo, everybody here were laughing cuz she was talk a funny thing. few minutes after she talk one by one of us start walking to the boat. angel speed boat, it is the name. so we sit on the bench.

"hello my name is pi, to day we r going to visit all places around phiphi island, all....if u need something plz ask me or other staff here"...bla..bla...bla.. so the boat is running while "pi" is talking. i m interesting when the boat runs like a wild horse. "cool. i got splash from the water" n the boat runs so fast.

i saw 2 indian women pray in the corner. their mouths never stop to move...lol.. but i dunno what do they talk. n i don't care. i just thinking that this really really cool trip. at my back there r an oz family with their 2 kids. ghost... they bring kids in this fuckn boat... n the 2 kids r the youngest of us. maybe around 2 n 4 years old.

with this boat we visit viking cave, monkey island, maya bay, koh phiphi, khai island n some places which i don't remember the name. at phiphi island we stay there for a while for lunch n walking around. i called it "lazy restaurant" why? cuz every body have to takeoff the sandals when we enter the room. so i guess they r lazy to clearup the floor from the sand...lol...that's why they ask us to open our sandals/shoes. i don't really exciting with the menu there. u know it's sour. i bet they always put pineapple in every food....lol...kidding...but it's only cuz i don't like sour. lunch is including the tour package. there is some hostels in koh phiphi, u can see a clear water color by green n very clear.

after lunch i m walking around to see some souvenir store. on the street i saw an old woman with her pet "a monkey" n she offer 150 baht for taking picture with her ugly monkey. huh...interest? ....go head....

here i am, back to patong after did a crazy adventure. well, i m going bath n take rest. i went to a small restaurant on the main street. order a seafood fried rice for 60 baht. o i wish i can visit phiphi again one day. to nite is very tired.

3 days at patong is a wonderful experiences. i wake up on 8 a.m. to day. walking around patong to see n find some meals.. i buy a portion of noodle. it's 30 baht from a canteen next to the street. also 5 small bags n 3 medium bags from the seller who face to me when i went to jungceylon mall. then i go to cyber cafe to check mail n chitchat abit. this evening i will go to bangkok. i hope i can enjoy my holiday there. impatient to see bangkok. have to take songthaew to reach phuket terminal at phuket town. it's public transportation here, like a bus. songthaew's operational hours is until 5 p.m.

around 04.00 p.m. i m check out from the hostel. i walk through bang la road, this is a cute place with a lot of worse people, mystery smile n strange english...lol.. sorry to say... opss..i m in hurry to reach songthaew on the corner of this road.

ciao patong... i m gonna miss u.

notes n tips: if u r in budged traveling this recommended place to buy food:i saw in the carefour, they sale rice n some meals ready to eat n the price cheap enough. too bad i didn't buy there. cuz i was late to know it...lol next is 7 eleven, they sale bread, burger, sandwich n some coffee. it's enough for ur breakfast. n try a canteens near by area, sometimes u will get lower price like when i bought the noodle...lol. plz bring ur own bath stuff n cosmetic its better. find the gud package tour from the agent along patong to compare the price. fyi: "speedboat n the ordinaryboat is different. tour with speedboat more expensive but u will satisfy to take it, not cuz it's for younger spirit but u will go to all around phiphi" the normal price for speedboat is 2500 baht but u can offer until half off. n plz check the name of the boat. angel cruise, angel speedboat r very recommended.
